DPH
Czech value-added tax, 21% on most goods and services. Applies to agent commissions, contract drafting fees, and services bundled with rent.
DPH (daň z přidané hodnoty) is the Czech VAT. Standard rate is 21%. Most relevant for renters: when you pay agent commission, you pay the commission + 21% VAT. A one-month commission turns into roughly 1.21 × monthly rent.
Residential rent itself is VAT-exempt under Czech law, so you don't pay 21% on your monthly nájemné. But many landlord-paid services that get passed through (for example, furniture rental, parking) may include VAT in the line item.
